Demographic Subgroups

Behavioral research increasingly uses accelerometers to provide objective estimates of physical activity. This study extends research on methods for collecting accelerometer data among youth by examining whether the amount of a monetary incentive affects enrollment and compliance in a mail-based accelerometer study of adolescents. We invited a subset of adolescents in a national web-based study to wear an accelerometer for seven days and return it by mail; participants received either $20 or $40 for participating. Enrollment did not significantly differ by incentive amount. However, adolescents receiving the $40 incentive had significantly higher compliance (accelerometer wear and return). This difference was largely consistent across demographic subgroups. Those in the $40 group also wore the accelerometer for more time than the $20 group on the first two days of the study. Compared to $20, a $40 incentive may promote youth completion of mail-based accelerometer studies.

Dynamic Target

We conduct a field experiment in a large workplace, testing two forms of target to increase physical activity - standard targets (10,000 steps per day) or dynamic targets (10% more than last week). We find that effects overall are modest, but that dynamic targets are more impactful for people with high physical activity levels.

The Impact

Abstract Background: Diabetes mellitus with co-existing hypertension contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. The study aimed to investigate the impact of the patients' physical activity status and the type of cooking oil consumed by patients in their daily routine on glycemic profile, lipid profile, the hypertensive profile of the patients, and the length of stay and overall cost of the treatment.Methods: A prospective observational study. All the patients who referred to the medicine department of the three different hospitals located in Moga, City Punjab and those who were hospitalized due to diabetes mellitus (type-I and type-II) with co-existing hypertension were asked to participate in the study.Results: The patients' mean age was found to be M= 53.85, SD= 11.54 years. Out of 1914 patients, 914 were male (47.8%); it was observed that the majority of the patients 525 (27.43%) in North India using butter or ghee- clarified butter as edible oil, followed by mustard oil 517 (27.01%) patients. About 345 (18.03%) of the patients consume soybean oil, whereas 226 (11.81%) of the patients like sunflower oil. Discussion: This study explored that cooking oil and physical activity are associated with length of stay in days & overall cost of the treatment, respectively. Our study results revealed that the type of oil compared with the treatment's overall cost was significant for olive oil, soybean oil, and groundnut oil.Conclusion: The study revealed that moderate and low physical activity increases the length of stay compared to high physical activity. The consumption of olive oil as a regular food habit in daily routine decreases patients' length of stay with diabetes with coexisting hypertension when doing high physical activity but increases the overall cost of treatment.
